Pocket camp is a cash grab
Main Post:
As we all know, pocket camp is a mobile game that encourages you to pay for leaf tickets, otherwise it's pretty difficult to get them and clothes or special furniture that costs leaf tickets come and go really quickly so you have no time to save up enough to buy something.
However, I find it weird that, even if it is true that pocket camp is just a way for Nintendo to get easy money, they also come with new updates every month. These updates include new items, clothes, furniture, etc. All these things are designed by someone and it seems odd to me that they are able to keep up with coming up with new items every single month.
Are Nintendo graphic designers just extremely hard-working or what is the secret of pocket camp's frequent updates?
EDIT: So I think most people didn't get the point. I understand that even though pocket camp is a cash grab you can still earn quite a lot of leaf tickets and stuff like that. However, what I said was that I didn't understand how they keep up with monthly updates that come with a lot of new items. Shout out to the people who explained that to me though.

It functions just like other mobile games like Candy Crush -- the game is free to download and play, and users subsidize the creation of new content by making in-game purchases.
Mobile games can become addictive, and they are built to keep you feeling like you need to make the in-game purchases. I'm sure, depending on how many active users Pocket Camp still has, they make enough to keep producing content plus profit. Otherwise they'd shut it down or stop producing new content.
Cash camp with long spawn times?
Main Post:
Any suggestions for a cash camp I can do where the spawn timers are a bit on the longer side? I'm hoping to make a bit of money while I study, so can't be a super active camp.

Depends on your level, class, willingness to ruin certain factions, etc.
If you're a druid, join <Dial a Port>. If you don't want to have to monitor /say and other chat windows, simply bind someplace safe and out of the way, click on tell windows so it gets your attention, and settle in. You won't make as much cash, but you can probably still make 200 - 300 plat an hour while you study.
Discount Options if You're Looking to Buy New from Camp Chef
Main Post:
Wanted to share my recent purchase experience in case anyone is looking at picking up a new WWPro or other CC smoker anytime soon.
My Dad is a veteran so we had him register with id.me for Camp Chef which secured a 20% discount direct on the manufacturer's website. I also used the Capital One Shopping Portal where I was targeted for a 15% cash back deal at cc.com. I'm guessing this target was because it's been tracking me recently and I've been repeatedly going back to the CC to almost pull the trigger on purchase... I checked my spam email this morning and saw the 15% deal and jumped on it. Lastly, I used my BofA Cash Rewards credit card for 3% back on online shopping for another little discount.
All in all, it should turn out to be around $839 instead of $1,272 retail after tax, and that includes the full warranty and all that direct from Camp Chef.
Hope this is helpful to anyone looking to purchase one new!
Top Comment: I tried this using my id.me account. At first, Camp Chef said the codes for the military/veteran discount was out. It asked if I wanted to be notified when it was renewed. I got the code today, but when I tried to use it at check out, it says invalid code. What a crock of shiite.
Dumb beginner question regarding paying for campgrounds
Main Post:
I’ve camped as a kid and teenager with my parents, but I’ve never camped as an adult- First time camping in like 10 years or so; but I want to know how to go about paying for a campground? Not making a reservation, more like the first come first serve sites.
I live in the west, I’m aware national forests allow me to camp for free without a campground but I’d like to know what payment options (cash, card, check, etc,?) exist if I arrive on a first come first serve site... and where would I typically go to make that payment once I’ve found a free spot?
Any reason I’d want a campground over a free spot? Only thing I can think of is if we have high fire danger (common here) I assume I can’t create my own fire pit but otherwise, not sure what else I’d be missing out on.
For context: live in Utah, looking to camp with a tent around the Mirror Lake area over a weekend but will probably do other areas further south in the state before it gets cold.
Top Comment: Bring cash. An established campground will have a little message board and near it will be a metal tube with some envelopes. Fill out the envelope and put your money in. Usually there is a stub you tear off and attach to the # poll at your site. If you find a free/dispersed site you can still have a fire if there is a ring. (There are free established campgrounds some places too.) Just check fire regulations before you start one. Usually the advantage to an established campground is that there will be toilets and a water source. If your comfortable with not having a toilet (please learn to "poop in the woods" and not leave a mess.) And can bring your own water, dispersed camping can be much quieter and more secluded. It's all what you are looking for and are comfortable with.
